About Italy
The Italian peninsula is one the most known region of Europe, because of the continuity of its mountain range, the Alps that both protect and link to the rest of central Europe and almost always coinciding with the actual terrestrial borders with the State (from West to East: France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia), to such an extent that the Italian territory perfectly fits its geographical position and also for its shape resembling a boot, stretching from North-West to South-East.
Even in the most varied landscape of Italy, we can still define some important morphological structures. Starting from the North, we see the south facing Alpine region, highlighted in the West by massive peaks like Mont Blanc (4,810 m), the central Alps, and the less higher peaks of the Eastern Alps. Going south from there we will notice a parallel mountain range to the Alps; they are the Southern Alps, gently sloping into the Pre-Alps, and embracing the Padana Plains. The Padana is a tectonic depressed area, filled by debris carried by glaciers and rain and surrounded by hills of diverse origin.
Cutting through the Padana is the Po river, the longest in Italy, starting in Piedmont and reaching the Adriatic Sea 652 km later.
The Apennins range, younger than the Alps, is less unified and more subject to tectonic adjustments. They form the "spinal cord" of Italy going all the way to the southern tip of Calabria. The highest peak in the Apennins is Gran Sasso d'Italia (2,912 m).
Italy is geologically young and still subject to earthquakes, recently the region of Abruzzo has seen many building destroyed and many lives lost.
Italy also has the most active Volcanoes like Vesuvio in Campania, Stromboli and Etna in Sicily (the highest in Europe at 3,323 m).
